Alisson returns for Liverpool as Klopp starts Salah, Mané, Firmino and Jota

Liverpool have been handed a much-needed boost at the back for their Gameweek 6 meeting with Sheffield United.

With Virgil van Dijk‘s (£6.4m) long-term injury still fresh in Jurgen Klopp’s mind, he welcomes back first-choice goalkeeper Alisson (£5.9m) from his shoulder problem.

It is a first start since Gameweek 3 for the Brazilian, Liverpool giving up nine goals in two matches during his absence.

That development is sure to be music to the ears of Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.4m) and Andrew Robertson (£7.1m) owners, who sit in 35.6% and 19% of team respectively.

However, there is arguably even more exciting news further up the pitch for Liverpool, as this week’s most captained player worldwide Mohamed Salah (£12.4m) could well be handed a centre-forward role.

Diogo Jota (£6.3m) has been welcomed into the starting line-up for a rare foray into a 4-2-3-1 formation, which also features Roberto Firmino (£9.3m) and Sadio Mané (£12.0m).

It has been some time since we have seen Klopp shape his troops in this way, but the last time a fourth attacking midfielder was added to the team, Firmino was handed a number 10 role behind Salah.

Meanwhile, interest in Sheffield United assets continues to wane, with Rhian Brewster (£4.5m) the only player owned by more than 7% for Gameweek 6.

He starts against his former club, paired with Oli McBurnie (£5.7m) up-front.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, Gomez, Fabinho, Alexander-Arnold; J Henderson, Wijnaldum; Mané, Firmino, D Jota; Salah.

Sheffield United XI: Ramsdale; Ampadu, Egan, Basham; Stevens, Osborn, Berge, Lundstram, Baldock; Brewster, McBurnie.

    Sterling and TAA to Mané and robbo feels massively tempting. Too knee jerk?

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Forget Robbo

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        He could have had a couple of assists today

  6. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

      1. ivantys
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

    1. Flair
      • 3 Years

      BPS system is a shambles

    2. Simon69

  8. Zimo
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Good

  9. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Huge 20 minutes for Salah (C)

  10. Simon69
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Remember when you used to pick the good players and they'd score goals? Miss them days.

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Suarez?

    2. JBG
      • 5 Years

        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

  11. DRIZ ✅
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Not watching the game guys how is Salah looking, im really worried about if he will haul.

    I have Kane C and rival has Salah C.

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years

    2. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

        • 12 Years

  12. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Majority of the top 10k went for a Spurs captain
    Salah was a casual pick I guess, Kane a pro pick

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Oh dear.......

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      10k is full of casuals who've used their chips right now

      1. DandyDon
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        This

    3. Simon69
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      They have professional fantasy football players? Parents must be proud.

    4. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not really. It was obvious burnley's defence was worse.

      1. Simon69
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Same lad was slating Bamford before his hattie last night. Give it a rest.

    5. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      if you're not going to map Salah vs SU at home why own him ?

    6. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years

      Zzzzzzzzz

  13. El Presidente
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

  14. Babelcopter
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Huge 20minutes. Is it season over or no? I’m on my knees. Please Mo be a king and save me!!!!

  15. Chhana
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    changing channel to Main Event... Team Gaethje....

  16. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Trent much further forward this half

  17. DandyDon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Mane Captainer. How is he out of the bonus with 2 assists!?

    1. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      BPS system is a joke

      1. Homer21
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yawn

    2. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I haven't checked but likely because of loss of possession

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      It's bonus, not additional for being part of scoring.

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        In practice it's mostly about scoring

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Goals vs assists apart from action players like KDB/Grealish.

  18. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    1 goal for Salah is 1 point less than 2 assists for Mane, how irritating

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Means little unless he scores.

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        For sure, just looking at the points scoring system in general

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          You want more points for meh assists?

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yup, that's how the scoring system works

  19. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    It’s actually got to the point where I don’t even want to watch the games as I know my players will do crap!

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Harsh on Newcastle.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Don’t even mention them. Such a pathetic team.

    2. HollywoodXI
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Same. I own Bruno. KDB. Salah. Grealish. All blanked.

  20. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Really need to get rid of Trent and Salah too

    1. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Salah?

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Why who is outperforming them?

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        About 10 defenders outperforming Trent, all loads cheaper! Kane will ruin Salah this GW and gives you MITB

  21. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

        • 5 Years
